It's not amazing...the second law of thermodynamics would forbid it.
Also...conservation of mass? Even more entropically unfavoured.
Finally, it's unoriginal; it was on TV.

No, you just made their heads explode.

It's times like these when I wish AN had a "simple english" button like wikipedia.

OK, in simple English:

The second law of thermodynamics states (roughly) that matter won't organise itself from disorder in the form of free atoms into a tightly ordered system like a living organism.
Conservation of mass dictates that you would need gas particles the mass of a person, to create a person of that mass.
Entropically unfavoured just means not favoured by the second law as above.

Well I was going to tell a maths joke that began "Infinitely many mathematicians walk into a bar," but having reevaluated the joke in light of nliu1995's rigorous analysis, I have deemed it too scientifically inaccurate to be shared.

Conservation of mass dictates that you would need gas particles the mass of a person, to create a person of that mass.

Actually the second law just states that it's very very very very unlikely for matter in high entropy to form a more ordered state, but technically not impossible. But yeah conservation of mass applies :-P haha loved the reactions to your comment.
